The patent US12056978B2 outlines a method and system for document liveness detection utilizing a hardware processor. The process begins by prompting an end-user to capture an image sequence of a physical document, which is undergoing orientation changes. The system employs image processing techniques to determine whether the captured sequence represents a live document. This includes estimating the document's thickness and comparing it to known thickness values associated with various categories of documents. The method also incorporates user-provided metadata to classify the document, ensuring accurate comparisons based on the specific category.
Further enhancements to the method involve the use of classifiers, including neural networks, to differentiate between various document types, such as holograms and laminated documents. The system can automatically activate the camera to capture video sequences, which may represent an entire session with the user. Additionally, it tracks the document's presence within the camera's field of view throughout the session. The patent also describes a computer program product that embodies the detection method, emphasizing its application in real-time scenarios where document authenticity is critical.
